20 thoughts on “Get expert advice on steering the tideway head”

We got a message from Debbie Blackmore “Rebecca – Best description of steering a Tideway Head I’ve read yet. I particularly like the way Martin explains visualizing other eights between you and various bank landmarks.

Now – has he got similar instructions for rowing it reverse – Putney to Chiswick? Pretty sure 2017’s Vesta Vets is going to be run backwards on the flood tide. Or is it as simple as just following these instructions backwards? ”

And the answer is no there is no reverse steering. But I asked Martin and he just said the boat positioning is the same, you just need to read from the bottom to the top of the page!
